KS Sectetary Of State Candidates Clash Over Election Official

Former State Senator Schodorf says Election Commissioner Lehman has made a series of work errors, most recently involving a petition that would place marijuana decriminalization on the fall ballot.

The office initially misreported the signature count and misplaced some of the signatures.

Republican Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who appointed Lehman to the job, says she has done good work overall and has fixed problems when they arose.

"She's been doing a very good job and she actually took extra time to do this signature verification process," says Kobach. "She's looking at thousands of signatures, inspecting each one, verifying that each voter was registered. This is a really time-consuming process."
